Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Introduction

Moses commands the people to write the law upon stones, when they shall come to the promised land, Deu 27:1-3. And to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, Deu 27:4; and to build an altar of unhewn stones, and to offer on it burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, Deu 27:5-7. The words to be written plainly, and the people to be exhorted to obedience, Deu 27:8-10. The six tribes which should stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, Deu 27:11, Deu 27:12. Those who are to stand upon Mount Ebal to curse the transgressors, Deu 27:13. The different transgressors against whom the curses are to be denounced, Deu 27:14-26.
